The Martyrs' Walk...

...through London will be on Sunday June 19th, starts 1.30pm for 2pm at St Sepulchre's, Newgate (opp. the Old Bailey - nearest tube: St Paul's).

We walked the route today to plan (it's the route to Tyburn taken by the English martyrs). We'll be stopping off at SS Anselm and St Cecilia, St Giles-in-the-Fields (Anglican church, where we pray for all those who died in the conflicts of the Reformation, and where we are always made extremely welcome), St Patrick's, Soho Square (about to re-open after massive refurbishment and restoration - Fr Alexander Sherbrook on excellent form as always). We finish at Tyburn with Benediction and Tea. It's always a special day. We'll be praying the Rosary en route, and at Tyburn there'll be Adoration, opportunities for confession...

The last stretch of the route, along Oxford Street, is a massive problem as it is jam-packed with people. Roadworks make for extra difficulties, and it is not possible for the street to be cleared of traffic as it is a major thoroughfare for London and would gridlock the entire capital if any such attempt was made...

However, we worked things out and made good plans, and ended at Tyburn where the dear Sisters made us extremely welcome and we talked long over tea. A good day. Check out that link in my first para. Or just turn up on the day - no need to book. Wear suitable clothes and good shoes - we'll be walking whatever the weather.
